A fine balance does a wonderful job of making you feel like you know all the characters by the end, their desires, motivations, strengths, weaknesses and all the things in between that make us human. It’s also gives a wonderful context of India at a particular time in history.

Thespianage is a wonderfully funny adventure that blends amateur theatre with espionage in the most delightfully British way imaginable. Packed with eccentric characters, witty dialogue, backstage chaos and unexpected spy intrigue, it takes readers on a laugh-out-loud journey where missed cues, dramatic egos and international secrets collide. Whether you love comedy, mysteries, or simply enjoy cheering for an underdog, Thespianage delivers plenty of humour, heart and surprising twists that will leave you smiling long after the final curtain falls.

Its the perfect mix of history and comedy, based loosely on the real Sicilian Expedition. It's also got elements of mystery and thrilling twists.

I love the way Mia describes her characters. It really gives you the chance to put yourself in the characters shoes. There’s so many aspects of love, surprise and suspense and is such a good read!

The way Madeline Miller writes Circe is absolutely stunning. A strong and complex character who is someone you can understand even when she doesn’t something so against what you would. A strong woman who didn’t let her trauma take her down, who used it to forge something to protect both herself and others. A character who at times I didn't like, but always respected.

Fantastic world building and characters! I’ve been hooked on the Stormlight Archive series since picking this up.

Loved the humour and world building

My favourite

This book got me back into reading fantasy a few years ago. What a fantastic series!

I love how TJR makes her characters so realistic. It's as if they actually existed!
